Year two of the Orange Ribbon Livestock Classic is officially in the books—and what a weekend it was. It’s hard to put into words just how much this event means, not only to those of us behind the scenes, but to every exhibitor, family, sponsor, and supporter who made it possible.
To our exhibitors—thank you for bringing your very best to the ring. Your hard work, sportsmanship, and commitment to your projects do not go unnoticed. You are the reason this event continues to grow and thrive.
To the families, fitters, and supporters—thank you for the long hours, the early mornings, and the unwavering support you give these young people. This lifestyle isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it, and it shows in every aspect of this weekend.
To our sponsors—there are truly no words that can fully express our gratitude. Your support is what allows us to create an experience that goes beyond the backdrop and banners. Because of you, we are able to give back, grow this event, and continue to make an impact.
To our volunteers and crew—this event simply would not happen without you. From organizing, setting up, running rings, parking trailers, and everything in between, your willingness to step up and serve does not go unnoticed. You are the backbone of this show.
Most importantly, we continue to be reminded of our “why.” The Orange Ribbon Livestock Classic was built on a story of strength, and giving back—and that purpose continues to guide everything we do. Seeing this community rally together again this year is something truly special, and we are so proud of what this event represents.
Year two exceeded expectations in every way, and we are already looking forward to what’s ahead. Thank you for being part of something bigger than the show ring.
